Be careful, if you have to drive in the west of Paris by the end of the week. Traffic will be disrupted at least until Friday on lines U and L of the Transilien after a landslide occurred Tuesday evening in Sèvres-Ville d'Avray, SNCF announced on Wednesday.
Tuesday evening, "a landslide suddenly created a heap of earth at the level of the rails, struck by the first train which circulated. It stopped a few meters after the Sèvres-Ville d'Avray station when it was partially engaged in the tunnel, "explained the SNCF in a press release.
An evacuated house
“Sixty travelers on board were evacuated safely. No one was injured, "said the railway company. An expert opinion established that the overhead line and the train were "damaged" and "the ground was deemed unstable", according to the SNCF.
The company has therefore decided to interrupt traffic between Saint-Cloud and Versailles-Rive Droite "at least until Friday end of service". In addition, an overhanging house was evacuated and the nearby road was closed to traffic, as a precaution.
“Reinforcement works will take place this evening and this night. SNCF Réseau is doing everything to allow traffic to be restored as quickly as possible, ”said the company. The SNCF specified that the trains circulated on line L between Paris Saint-Lazare and Saint Cloud and on line U between Verrière and Versailles, "only during off-peak hours". "Customers from Versailles are invited to refer to lines N, C and T2".
